About

Wexew Mexem is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up by Japanese developer Zakichi. It takes inspiration from games like Exed Exes and Xexex.

By activating "High Point Mode" when your energy is at full power, you can also destroy enemy bullets, turning enemies into bonus items.
If you press the mode activation button during "high point mode", you will return to normal mode at any time.

Your attack has a range, and if you move up, the range will be longer, and if you move down, the range will be shorter, but the power will be doubled.
